People living and working along the Canada-U.S. border in Manitoba welcomed the news that fully vaccinated travellers from the States will soon be allowed to cross. Fully vaccinated individuals won't need a test after they arrive, unless they are randomly selected to complete a COVID-19 molecular test. Tim Chapman, CEO of the International Peace Garden which straddles the border, says the opening will be a benefit to the many surrounding communities that depend on tourism. Reeve Carlson said some people in the border communities may be apprehensive about the change, especially those who are not yet fully vaccinated. Starting Sept. 7, fully vaccinated travellers from all other countries will be able to enter Canada.
